Sorry, it is me again. There is so much to learn. I am now able· to get clear with these
vagrant, rake and virsh stuff. That is a great step and I am happy, I can help myself now.

But I believe, I now stumbled over a new issue with broken package. For me it looks like
some settings are wrong in the pre-image file. As far as I understood, the crash is in the
step, where the basic image is build, or say, filled with the packages.

This is the output, just at the basic installation step:

Ok, the directory here called /root is not the /root of my system, so it must be in the
imagefile, that is mounted /dev/loop (I suppose so, am I wrong?).

What I do not understand, is that ioctl, but everything is looking for me as a problem with
rights. However, I am building as root, so I should have all the rights, I need.

I am sure, I have missed something.

For the explanation, I am building on an extra ssd, which is mounted
to /space, but this worked on building kali-linux. So this should work here, too. Especially
at this step of building.

Any idea, what I am doing wrong? Or is this just a bug???

Thanks for being so patient.

Best
